PERSON CERTIFICATION
Independent assessment of professional competence
Person certification determines whether a professional meets the knowledge, skills and performance criteria established for a defined scope.
The process does not replace training or professional experience: it verifies them through previously defined assessment methods.
Each decision is based on objective evidence, documented criteria and an independent review of the assessment result.
Defined schemes
Each scheme establishes the scope, tasks, competences, entry requirements and applicable criteria for a professional category.
Evidence-based assessment
Requirements are verified through an examination, practical test, document review or other methods established in the scheme.
Validity and maintenance
Certification has a defined validity period and, where applicable, includes monitoring and recertification requirements.
